Millet's unique material "Typhon" is known for its high moisture permeability. Taking advantage of this characteristic, the first item focused on skiing and snowboarding is the ``Typhon Warm Steep''. Let's take a look at some layering examples during the season based on this outerwear.
What are the characteristics of “Typhon Warm Steep”?
Typhon is a material that has a water pressure resistance of 20,000mm and a moisture permeability of 50,000g/㎡/24h. It not only protects moisture from the outside of the garment, but also actively releases steam that tends to accumulate inside the garment to the outside. At the same time, it has high stretchability, so you can move your body freely without feeling uncomfortable.
The comfort of wearing this jacket comes from the combination of a 50-denier outer material that is slightly untwisted for stretch, an ultra-thin membrane, and a soft brushed tricot lining.
The brushed tricot lining helps trap dead air and provides warmth. The waterproof seams that join this brushed fabric together are the result of the advanced technology that has been cultivated over the years.
There are many useful features for skating. Easy-to-move silhouette with stretch performance and draping, wide ventilation to support moisture permeability, helmet-compatible hood with inner cuff to prevent cold air from entering, large gusseted pockets, removable snow skirt, and more for hike and ride. Packed with elements that correspond to It can be worn in any situation, from the ski resort to the backcountry.

Example of layering based on sweat-wicking shell
The highly moisture-permeable outer shell can bring out its full potential by layering what you wear inside.
First, we put on Drynamic Mesh underwear, which is made of hydrophobic polypropylene material that does not cool your skin even when you sweat, and then layered with merino wool, which has excellent heat regulation and heat retention properties. . This will be the base.
The midlayer is an active insulation breath barrier toy jacket that has high breathability and sweat management even when active. The moderate stretch and 3D cutting that doesn't hinder body movement, combined with the easy-to-move shell, make it comfortable.
This layering is a classic combination in "Typhon Warm Steep." This set is worn by people such as Hidekazu Yokoyama, who is currently a ski instructor and ski guide in Hakuba, Takahiko Seki, who is based in Okushiga Kogen, and Yukiyasu Matsuzawa, head of the Hakuba Mountain Guide Association.
